Bruce Springsteen\u2019s first seven albums will be reissued as a CD or vinyl box set, with five of them remastered for the first time for CD, and all the vinyl editions getting the remaster treatment for the first time. Accompanied by a 60-page book, The Album Collection Vol 1 1973-1984 is due out on 17 November. Coinciding with Springsteen\u2019s 65th birthday, the set incorporates the following albums: Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ; The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle; Born to Run; Darkness on the Edge of Town; The River; Nebraska; and Born in the USA. <\/p>\n

To clean up the audio, Springsteen worked with long-time collaborator Toby Scott, as well as Bob Ludwig, an engineering legend who has mastered most of the Boss\u2019s albums since the early 80s. They transferred audio from the original analogue tapes, using a modern technique called the Plangent Process. \u201cThe process allows the tape playback to sound closer to the output of the mixing console than ever before,\u201d Ludwig told the fan site Backstreets<\/a>. \u201c[There\u2019s] a sonic depth and clarity not heard since the original mix-down session.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t expect that the first three albums especially would sound so suddenly clear and full of depth,\u201d Ludwig went on. \u201cI was hearing parts that had never stood out before \u2026 the horns and percussion on E Street Shuffle<\/a>, the guitars on Sandy<\/a> \u2026 The arrangements seemed to come together in a way that I was literally hearing for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each of the newly scrubbed records will be packaged in a recreation of its original sleeve, and the set\u2019s comprehensive liner notes include old photos and vintage press clippings. According to Ludwig, Springsteen has already agreed to the remastering of \u201cthe remainder of the catalogue\u201d. It\u2019s a slightly different project: compared to Springsteen\u2019s early records, which were mixed to tape, most of the later albums were mixed to digital. \u201cIt is more a matter of finessing the original to retain the intent while improving the fidelity and creating 24-bit final masters,\u201d Ludwig said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo they sound different? Absolutely!\u201d he promised. \u201cIf I didn\u2019t already have them, I\u2019d go out and buy the new versions \u2013 and this is from a fan, not a marketing person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Besides the box set, Springsteen also has another release planned for this fall: Outlaw Pete, an illustrated children\u2019s book<\/a>, will be published on 4 November.<\/p>\n
